(Update: ABC confirmed late Thursday that McCain will guest-host Monday, and said two others, WGN’s Ana Belaval and ABC News’ Sara Haines, would also fill in next week.)

McCain would provide a conservative voice to the ABC show, taking on the role previously held by Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The commentator and daughter of Sen. John McCain presents herself as a progressive Republican who doesn’t always agree with her party on social issues, such as gay marriage.

Earlier this week, Sarah Palin suggested that she might be a good addition to “The View” panel — but she does not have any guest-host gigs lined up with the show, and does not appear to be a serious candidate to join.

With the recent exits of Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy, “The View” still has multiple seats to fill before the show returns for its 18th season with Goldberg and O’Donnell on Sept. 15.
